Speed limit, the term is harsh and absolute. We as a society are to dumb to figure out what a comfortable hwy cruising speed is. The signs should read;

Hwy speed = 55
Speed Limit = 65

That way people realize that 65mph is not the steady target, but the fastest you can travel on this road. If hypermiling has taught me anything it has taught me self discipline and that I am in "control" of my vehicle, the signs around me do not control me.
